GET THOSE HEIFERS "STEAMED UP" ,tThe partys over Bottoms Up! Lets get going! For thousands of men and women children and pedestrians, too that has been the beginning of the end. On the highway at night, where the road curved and the hazy driver drove straight ahead, there was another Bottoms Up! and the end of the last drive. Its hard to convince a person who has had a few drink's that he shouldn't drive. Alcoholic stimulation engenders a false confidence in his ability. In reality, his reactions have slowed down, his perception and judgment lowered driving alertness gone. In a later stage the road blurs, lights s blind as he fights drowsiness, loses control. Seldom is he endangering his life alone. He, is also endangering the lives of those traveling with him and others on the streets and highways. In 35 states 166,179 drivers lost their licenses in 1952 for drinking and driving. Thirty-fiv- e per cent of all revocations are brought against drinking drivers. If you have been drinking, either let someone else drive, leave your car and call a taxi, or stay where you are until your senses clear. Stay off V- the road!
